Previous funding bids supporting cycling initiatives in Middlesbrough

Successful

Local Sustainable Transport Fund - Sustainable Middlesbrough; A Place for Business

This project operated from March 2015 until April 2016, providing support to people across the Tees Valley to undertake sustainable journeys. Read the successful bid.

Unsuccessful

Cycle City Ambition funding was available to enable infrastructure improvements to be made, encourage more cycling trips, and help to produce some of the positive outcomes associated with active travel, such as health and environmental benefits, whilst also providing inexpensive transport and congestion reduction.

A joint bid between Middlesbrough Council and Darlington Council, seeking £4.335m from the DfT was submitted for the Tees Valley. The bid aimed to heavily invest in the local network to improve conditions for cyclists, and encourage more journeys by bike. Had this been successful, the funding would have been used in Middlesbrough to create cycle paths and on-carriage cycle lanes, providing a more joined up network, and the Darlington funding would have been used to implement 20mph zones across the borough.
